ALL IN THE DETAILS: Red Hot

February 27th, 2015 at 2:00am

There has been no shortage of serious fashion inspiration between the runways of fashion week around the world, award show parties and the always fabulous street style snaps. And what better way to channel an “it” fashion girl than with an all black ensemble? This Fashionista shows us how to spice up basic black with pops of fiery red.

Create a cohesive look by pulling your accent color throughout. This Fashionista chose to incorporate red from head to toe. She kept her makeup clean and simple with a black cat eye and a bright red matte lip. You can work wonders with the right shade of lipstick. Try to pick one that not only coordinates with your accent color, but also flatters.

This band shirt (borrowed from the boys section, no less) is the perfect way to embody effortless cool. Of course, this is also an opportunity to pull that red through once again. The looser fit paired with an long sheer cardigan and black skinnies allows for both comfort and style.

Let us not forget the most important accessory in this look—those fabulous red velvet loafers. Talk about comfort and style! Velvet has made its own little comeback on the runways this fall and these shoes are a great way to try out the trend.

The fashion world is always moving and changing. It is far to easy to get swept up in the current but when in doubt, go back to black and have fun with bold accessories.

How To: Unfortunately, true red isn’t for everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t play with other accents that are perfectly on trend. Try a saturated orange or cooler blues and purples for a look that is perfectly you! The beauty of having an all black base is that you can really let the color pop.
